Copy of my mail to wright and postmaster:
---------------------------------------------------------------
I just wanted to write this short note to object to Grady Ward losing his
account at tidepool due to pressure from the Church of Scientology.
I have the understanding that this decision was directly caused by postings of
his to the newsgroup alt.religion.scientology.
alt.religion.scientology is a Scientolgy critic's forum, and was created for
that purpose. Grady Ward's posts to this newsgroup are generally germaine to
the subject matter (which is often wide ranging), and welcome by many
(including myself). It is a well-known fact that Scientology often uses
pressure, pseudo-legal jargon, and a "noisy investigation" approach to silence
critics, often inventing negative information about a critic if none actually
exists. I am disappointed that Tidepool has allowed them to stifle the free
speech rights of yet another critic. It is my earnest hope that after careful
consideration, Tidepool will reverse its decision and re-instate Grady's
account.
For a thorough look at the shady tactics of Scientology, and the lengths it
will go to to silence critics, I respectfully suggest that you visit the
following web sites:
